The butler hesitated for a moment, and the teacup slipped from his hand.
Si Jin caught it with lightning speed, looked up, and smiled faintly:
"Butler, be careful, this teacup is an imported product and very expensive."
The butler couldn't help but swallow hard, his breathing trembling.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that nothing could be hidden from the boy's clear, bright eyes.
It was as if any disguise was utterly vulnerable in front of him!
Si Jin held the teacup in her hand, like a mastermind who had seen through the game, leaning back comfortably in her chair, and said softly:
"You have many scars on your hands, those are burn marks from cigarette ash."
Also, your teeth are yellowish, and the whites of your eyes are not a normal color.
He was in a daze, and when I caught him, he almost threw away his teacup.
If I had any doubts about your opium use just now, I'm certain now.
"Moreover, it is precisely because you rely on pornography and have a stable supply that you drank this cup of tea without any hesitation."
While you might seem to be able to distance yourself, the look of enjoyment on your face while drinking water has already given you away.
Hearing this, the steward grew increasingly terrified. He finally came up with a flimsy excuse, but just as he was about to speak, the young man said again:
"Oh right, and that little Sun, you put him in the manor too, didn't you?"
"Why are you so determined to kill me and the city lord? What is your purpose?!"
With the last sentence, Si Jin suddenly stood up, her voice rising abruptly.
At the same time, he smashed the teacup that the butler had just used on his white-haired head.
With a crash, the teacup shattered into several pieces.
Along with the bright red blood, it flowed down his head.
The butler, who was over sixty years old, was stunned by the sudden blow. His vision went black, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud.
In the hazy, dreamlike state, the boy's melodious voice drifted back, like a ghost:
"Or let me put it another way: Who are you working for, and why have you gone to such lengths to infiltrate and kill Lord Qi and his father?"
The butler was terrified, and his ears were ringing.
A chill rose from the bottom of my heart and quickly spread throughout my body.
He was always very cautious in his actions, even when it came to showing pornography, he only showed a very small amount.
Why would someone notice?
How could Pei Sijin even connect the death of Qi Linyuan's father to this?!
The butler's hands trembled uncontrollably, and his mind became increasingly unclear.
Si Jin pressed her advantage, holding the last shard of glass in her hand against his aged neck:
"Either reveal who's behind you, or you die."
The housekeeper's last line of defense completely collapsed, and the side effects caused by the pornography, due to the immense mental pressure, coincidentally surfaced.
He stammered out a few words:
“I…I didn’t mean to…I did too…They arrested my family, I couldn’t not work for them, I…”
"who are they?"
"Yingzhou...the Yingzhou delegation!" The steward wept bitterly.
"The Emperor of Yingzhou is attempting to annex the Central Plains, and the existence of Shanghai has always been an obstacle for them. That's why they had me poison him. The old city lord did the same thing back then..."
"Where did you get that Y-film from?!"
"Qian Yan, I got it from Qian Yan! He handed it to me personally yesterday!"
Si Jin frowned slightly:
"Wasn't he imprisoned by the city lord?"
"You don't know, the squad that imprisoned him had a squad leader named Pei Zhi who was his regular client. He secretly released him a long time ago... Ah!"
Upon hearing the name Pei Zhi, Si Jin's expression instantly turned serious.
He immediately stood up and kicked the butler to the ground.
Then, he ordered Lu Zhiyang to lock him up and interrogate him severely.
He took out the gun that Qi Linyuan had put in the drawer and walked out aggressively.
Lu Zhiyang wanted to stop him, but was afraid the butler would run away, so he quickly followed him to the door and called out:
"Sister-in-law, where are you going?"
Si Jin left extremely quickly, leaving him with only two light, fleeting words:
"kill."
